A big warm-up is set to kick off the week ahead but it won’t come quietly. Wind will be a major player, with several blustery days on the way. We’ll also track a few chances for rain as we move through the first full week of May.

A notable daylight milestone was reached this week, and we’ll break down what that means moving forward. Our latest drought status is in — are we gaining ground or still falling behind? And yes… snow in May? We’ll revisit just how rare that really is around here.

Meanwhile, spring bird migration is ramping up in a big way; one of the best stretches of the season is arriving right now.

All that and the full weekly weather breakdown for May 3rd through May 10th, 2026…

Temperatures remain stuck well below normal for most of the week ahead. We flip the calendar to May this week, but unfortunately, it’s going to feel more like early spring than the start of a new month.

We’ll also pass a meaningful daylight milestone, check in on the latest drought status, and take a look at what May typically brings when it comes to average temperatures.

All that, plus your weekly weather preview for the end of April and the beginning of May — from April 26 through May 3, 2026;  NEXT, on episode #241 of Obsessed With the Weather.

Temperatures are set to run well below average for late April, and yeah… it’s going to feel like it too. But there’s a flip side, we finally start drying things out, as a much quieter, drier pattern begins to take hold across southern New England.

We’re also watching the subtle seasonal shift, daylight is still increasing, but the big gains are now behind us. We’re adding minutes, just not at that rapid March pace anymore… still counts though.

We’ll also check in on something that continues to matter more than it should this time of year, our ongoing drought status and how this recent stretch of weather is (or isn’t) helping.

And a great seasonal question: When is Boston’s average last freeze? The answer might surprise you and it matters more than ever as we head deeper into spring planting season.

All that and your full weekly breakdown for the final full week of April from April 20 - April 26, 2026…

A colder pattern settles in as we head through the final full week of March… a reminder that while the calendar says spring, the atmosphere doesn’t always agree.

At the same time, our daylight gains, after peaking are now beginning to slow, but just how much light have we actually picked up since the depths of winter?

We’ll take a look at our latest drought status, reflect briefly on the winter that was as we officially turn the page into spring, and break down what to expect in the days ahead.

All that and your full weekly weather preview from March 22nd through March 29th, 2026 coming up next on Episode #236 of Obsessed With the Weather.

🌦️ The final full week of winter is here… but winter isn’t going quietly.

A significant warm-up kicks off the week, and the big melt is officially underway across Southern New England. Snowbanks will shrink, puddles will grow, and it will finally feel a little like spring.

But don’t pack away the shovel just yet.

❄️ Winter is not finished.

A few systems moving through this week could bring another round of rain… and possibly some snow before the season officially changes.

⏰ Daylight Saving Time begins, giving us those longer evenings we’ve been waiting for. More daylight, a changing pattern, and the atmosphere beginning its seasonal transition.

And we’ll also take a look at something important as we head toward spring:

🌎 What’s the drought situation across the region right now?

Has winter precipitation helped? Or are we still running a deficit?

We’ll break it all down:  the melt, the pattern, the daylight change, and your full weekly weather preview.

🎙️ All that and more on Episode #233 of Obsessed with the Weather.

Enjoy!
